The two dominant mobile platforms -Apple iOS & Google Android - make up over 90% of the mobile market (http://www.idc.com/prodserv/smartphone-os-market-share.jsp). An examination of the two ecosystems reveals some interesting facts. 1) ARM dominates the CPUs supplied into mobile devices 2) Android has over 80% of the mobile OS market share 3) there is a large HW fragmentation of Android devices (Samsung, HTC, LG, etc).

What will the landscape look like next year? Will Samsung's Tizen rise from small devices to full mobile? Will China's home developed OS be sufficient to sell to the biggest market in the world? Will India refocus its software expertise into consumer electronics?
